Driving with varying tire or wheel
sizes may cause the VSA to
malfunction. When replacing tires,
make sure they are of the same size
and type as your original tires (see
page
VSA is turned on every time you
start the engine, even if
you turned it off the last time
you drove the vehicle.
If you install winter tires, make
sure they are the same size
as those that were originally
supplied with your vehicle.
Exercise the same caution
during winter driving as you
would if your vehicle was not
equipped with VSA.
In certain unusual conditions when
your vehicle gets stuck in shallow
mud or fresh snow, it may be easier
to free it with the VSA temporarily
switched off. When the VSA system
is off, the traction control system is
also off. You should only attempt to
free your vehicle with the VSA off if
you are not able to free it when the
VSA is on.
Immediately after freeing your
vehicle, be sure to switch the VSA on
again. We do not recommend driving
your vehicle with the VSA and
traction control systems switched off.
This switch is under the driver’s
side vent. To turn the VSA system
on and off, press and hold it
until you hear a beep.
When VSA is off, the VSA OFF
indicator comes on as a reminder.
Press and hold the switch again. It
turns the system back on.
